Polish FM Criticizes Nawrocki's Alternative SAFE Defense Plan
2026-03-11
On March 16, 2013, Poland's Foreign Minister, Radosław Sikorski, was very critical of an alternative funding proposal for defense that was put forward by President Karol Nawrocki's team. The criticism was made just after the President's office put forward a competing proposal to the European Union's SAFE Program for Defense. Minister Sikorski encouraged the President to support the proposed government funding plan, allowing Poland access to €43.7 B in loans guaranteed by the EU. He warned that the failure to approve the proposed government plan could negatively impact Poland's credibility.
